Story:

Quackenbush has run out of toilet paper. He receives a flyer from his local grocery store – they just got a shipment of Quadrupal-ply Tushie Soft – his fav. But hurry down because supplies are limited because The Karens are out in force, determined to snap up every last roll of Tushie Soft.

Join Quackenbush in his adventure of obtaining the unobtainable – a roll of Tushie Soft. Avoid free-floating COVID-19 spores and the Sample Lady (Plague on a Stick!). Follow the maze that is our Mrs. M’s Everyday Market aisles. Check out the latest in PPE – like Mason’s Disinfection Spray and Col. X’s Fabulous Bar Soap. Grab a roll of Tushie Soft and exit the store through the self-checkout and you are home free.

Gameplay

Player starts out at the entrance to the store. Objective – obtain a roll of toilet paper (in upper, left-hand area of playing field) and get through check-out line and out the exit. Toilet paer counts down as lives are lost. When all the rolls are gone, play is done.

COVID-19 spores – they spawn and float around, unconstrained throughout the playing field.

Sample Ladies – they are constrained to one spot in the game (end of certain aisles). The continuously thrust out samples (Plague on a Stick).

Hm, the game doesn't seem very complete. I just run to the toilet paper on top left and it start over again. There doesn't seem to be any borders either, so I can leave the game window. The game crashed twice for me unfortunately. Good luck.

Collisions and some extra level are missing, but good job, I love the music and the retro smell :D

@saeedprez Thanks! Yeah, collision proved problematic in the build so I removed it for now.
@darkfire92 Thanks! Plenty left to do :D

Same as others, boundaries are non-existent and I was wondering for awhile where my character was. Really enjoyed the toilet paper success music for some reason lol.

I managed to clip through all the walls and walk straight to the toilet paper every time. Other than that, loved the retro feel of this game, nice visuals and soundtrack too!

Nice concept! It's a shame it's unfinished:( Creative title though:D
angelina22 Apr 2020, 00:28
Such a funny idea! Wish you could have finished it.
KeepingHimAlive22 Apr 2020, 00:39
pretty nice art but the lack of wall collision kind of kills any kind of fun the game could have been. a good attempt atleast and you can trigger the win condition, so it's something.
PonyPen22 Apr 2020, 07:47
I would like to play this again when it is finished as it's a good concept but without the walls being solid it's nowhere near as fun as it should be. But there's a lot of potential here to make it an awesome silly game!

It could be a nice game. I kinda played like there really were collisions and the potential is good when the game is finished. =)

I quite enjoyed the sound effect when you get the toilet paper. If collisions and some UI or goal were there, I think it would be fun game. Good job
Mikonow24 Apr 2020, 22:25
Nice sound and visuel ! But i didn"t get what to do more than taking the toilet paper :'(
NathanT25 Apr 2020, 06:56
Great sounds. Moves fast. Would love to see more. Good job!

The visual and audio is nice, but like others have mentioned the lack of collidersn in the game makes it feel really incomplete
LungTakumi25 Apr 2020, 07:10
Interesting idea. There are few bugs here, I can pass through the wall, and go out of the boundary.
k_baskakova25 Apr 2020, 18:33
I became a super duck that can walk through walls! I don’t know what I just did :)) but in spite of everything, I spent a rather long time playing the game! it was funny!

Can move through everything except virus and infected people.

Nice game! Just handle the collisions and could be a funny game ^^
sharbelfs27 Apr 2020, 18:52
Game seems promising, but without collisions it is really hard to have a good gameplay. Would like to play this one again with collisions in the future.
